Solution Concept for Windows Phone Search button accidents

Ah, capacitive buttons. They have been both a bane and boon for mobile users since their inception. Since, most Windows Phones come with capacitive buttons, their users have their share of woes too. Who hasn't accidentally pressed the search button while watching a video or composing that huge message and been greeted by the Bing app ?

Long Zheng has come up with a simple idea on how this this can be solved. If you keep the capacitive button pressed for more than a specified time (the circle keeps getting filled meanwhile) , the Bing app launches otherwise you return to whatever you were doing. This design is similar to the one found in the MetroTwit app. Zheng would have liked to do the same for the 'back' button but that action is used for multi-tasking in Mango.

Symbian And Metro UI Converge In A Beautiful Windows Phone Concept

Metro UI, the most striking feature of Microsoft's Windows Phone OS, has been fused with Symbian's Anna update in a concept by Tommy Incrosnatu. By pimping up the live tiles, adding icons and widgets, Incrosnatu has made a sleek UI, which we wouldn't mind seeing in Windows Phone. Removal of the Back and Search buttons, adition of pretty Facebook, Twitter, RSS, music widgets with those round icons you have seen in the Anna update consistitute the main elements of the concept by the Finnish designer. Maybe with the customization Nokia will be doing on their phones, we might see something similar in their phones as well.
Look at the vivid pictures below and tell us what you think of them!
